May Showers

May has brought rainstorms to Forney in a big way! It rained off and on most of the day, but the big stuff came just as we arrived at the restaurant for dinner. We had to eat slowly and order some dessert to give the rain some time to slow down a bit - as you can imagine, the kids were all broken up about us forcing cheesecake and chocolate cake on them!
The electricity went out while we were eating and the water came rushing in the front doors, which was kind of cool to see!
We made it home safely to find our power out too, so our planned movie night was put on hold. Instead we played a scoreless game of scrabble by flashlight! I wish this rain would keep coming - I love it!

As you can see by our words, we weren't having a lot of luck with big vocabulary!

Doesn't Tommy looked thrilled?!
